The Garden Tomb A tomb with two chambers cut out of the solid rock, It is in a beautifully laid out garden not far from the Damascus Gate into Jerusalem's Old City. It's location near the ruined foundation of a spacious house coincides with the Gospel accounts of Christ being buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, a very wealthy man, Who had his tomb carved from the rock face in his own garden. It was discovered by General Gordon on a visit to Jerusalem in 1883. Scriptures tell us that Christ was crucified at Golgatha, a hill very near this tomb.   RETURN
